The IBM Selectric, (which interestingly also had an "ISO style" Enter key for all regions) had an optional dead key feature for this very reason. In fact, the Selectric II keyboard is one of my all-time favourites.vometia wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 19:53The compose key: I'm astonished it never found its way into Windows as it's so useful for doing stuff like this on any keyboard without needing to know arcane and obscure control codes. There are a few fiddly examples (e.g. ñ is particularly irritating to type IME) but they can generally be reprogrammed with little effort; plus you get to write things like Spın̈al Tap properly.
There is (was?) a big enter key for ANSI layout too, with the L shape turned on the lower side.
My thoughts exactly. And I asked not to bee taken too seriously after all
The bunch of the cost is not the plastic but the machinery. I feel (not know, feel) that if a base kit of 70 keys costs, lets say $100 (when selling 200 of them), a kit of 170 keys would end up costing closer to $120. With the current system, the cost of each language addon set has to be covered by far less people.
Indeed.
I touch type, I don't care that much. But some people don't and, frankly, it's nicer to have the correct keycaps =)
The idea is that everybody would buy every set so the price should go down significantly.
In my case, I use the pinky finger, AND I hit the Enter key exclusively on the lower half. This stems from an eight-years-long inadvertent self-training, where I used an ISO Model M keyboard at work and an ANSI Model M SSK unit at home. As far as I can see, other people around here (meatspace, not DT) tend to press the ISO Enter key on the middle of it.Menuhin wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 21:21I'm not an ISO user, I have to ask out of curiosity:
Which (right hand) finger do you hit the ISO Enter with?
1. Pinky?
2. Ring?
3. Middle?
Pinky has to reach further for an ISO enter than for an ANSI enter, but there are more up-and-down row leeway as the ISO enter crosses two rows.
If you're gonna dyesub, I know a guy that does a good job of it... (not joking here)Telstar wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 22:16For this reason there is ZERO keycaps which are double-shots in ISO-IT layout either within a kebyoard or sold separately.
The best I can get are PBT dye-sub, and I plan to do some custom runs of DSA dye-sub, if not laser printed for the 11 specific text keys. This means no light legends on dark keys ever.

I was in the Drop for the Matt3o's MT3 on Massdrop from the beginning, after many delays I give up on the drop about a week before the shipping (I was buying an house, very low on money).Telstar wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 22:16For this reason there is ZERO keycaps which are double-shots in ISO-IT layout either within a kebyoard or sold separately.

Aaaahh, alright! my bad! Yeah def a Model M and not a model F.Findecanor wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 13:27Did you really get a Model M or did you get a Model F AT?TheBarista wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 12:58Just got hold of a Model M with norwegian layout, so I do now. Really like the bigass enter and gotta have the Æ Å Ø.
The Model F AT's kind of Enter key is what is more commonly called "Big-Ass Enter" around here.
Hmm... Maybe a "big-ass" Enter key would fit on the Model M. I have not tried. Most Model M and F keys are interchangeable.
I think they are poorly advertised? I got the ePBT from aliexpress so far.
What is their point, then? They should get those cheap "switch testers" instead, so they can display their artisans and whatnot and... waitasec, didn't massdrop already produce something to that effect?
ePBT? What is it?
Indeed.
